MUNCIE -- Ball State has released little information on how it is handling the hiring of two athletic coaches, a compliance position and a radio announcer for its two main sports. But one factor seems to have emerged: athletic director Tom Collins won't have a major influence -- if any at all -- in deciding who gets the jobs.

Collins turned down a recent request from The Star Press to discuss the process being used by the school to fill openings for a women's basketball coach, women's swimming coach, a compliance coordinator, and a radio play-by-play announcer.
